Wm. Eger’s death came as quite a shock to many of this vicinity who knew him, as comparatively few knew he was sick. John K. Smith had a tine day for his sale Wednesday and considering the Dumber of sales this season, everything sold well. . "Billy” Lehman is hauling his seed oats from Robt. Drake’s this week. Billy raised over 3,000 bushels of corn to sell last season. Reed McCoy, our hustling merchant of McCoysburg, has put in a fine line of granite ware and is selling it cheap, too. Call and see him.

Conrad Maxwell will accompany the car of goods. Ethel Parker and Chloe Kenton took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Royal Bussell, Sunday and Messrs. Cox Maxwell, Floyd Porter, Chester Downs and Misses Mary and Grace Peregrine and Floss Kenton spent Sunday evening with them. Estel Osborne cut his foot last week while working in the timber for for M. N. Ford, but was not so bad but what he was able to walk to McCoysburg on Wednesday evening to see the dredge and to attend to some other business. Squire Bussell has a warrant out for an old wolf that has come too close to bis wild goose park a time or two this season to make everything comfortable. So the first snow we have for tracking a search will in all probability be made for the intruder. ' To use the proper term in this case, we might say that Gilmore’s dredge is "up against the real thing" now, for in “kicking" back toward the main channel has caused the ice to blockade behind them, and as a result they seem to be laid up for a few days. Queen bees are the only living creatures that are transported through the mails. They are neatly packed in a block of wood accompanied by a retinue of worker attendants, regulated in number by the distance traveled. In this sort of receptacle queens are sent around the world in perfect safety. Right in connection with the fine day for John Smith’s sale the ladies served a lovely farewell dinner, free for the women only. The dinner consisted of goose and turkey and everything that went with them. But if the men got any dinner they dug up the cash. It was a grand social affair as well as a good day for sales. x O. C. Hughes, a horse “jocky” of Williamsport, who is familiar to several people in this locality, passed through Hanging Grove Saturday enroute to Lee, where he has made his headquarters for the past year or two. Mr. Hughes is a years, but nevertheless he can still tell how old a horse is without ever seeing it. Frank W. Fisher of Tefft, was down looking after bis farm near McCoysburg, formerly owned by David Culp. Mr. Fisher is a good citizen and prosperous farmer Of his locality He reports his son Lee as still being at Stillwell, Laporte Co., teaching school and getting $4.50 per day. Mr. Fisher took dinner Wednesday with C, W. Bussell, an old acquaintance and neighbor for several years, before leaving for his home via C. &. W. V, Ry. People who are in rural districts should be very careful about throwing away mail along the road when going to and from their box. Mai! of the second class which may often seem as comparatively little value is often tossed to one side of the road without even tearing off the wrapper. This should not be done. If you throw any kind of mail away it should be mutuilated so any one passing by would not pick it up, thinking it had been lost. Candidates for county and township offices have begun to loom up in the political woods already. It seems to be a settled fact that Geo. Parker will make the race on the republicsn ticket for trustee and in all probability will be the only candidate on that side of the fence. It is reported but not confirmed, that Joseph Stewart will come out on the democrat ticket for a second term. Mr. Stewart was trustee prior to the present incumbent. Hurray, boys! Whoop ’em up now, and watch The Democrat for news, for it don’t go behind the bush to talk nor bust its crupper-strap holding back to first see what some one else is going to say.
